 Embark the Silver Wind, one of the world's most luxurious
ships, on a fascinating journey to contemporary
Arabia. Visits to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia,
Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman will introduce
you to nations that differ markedly from Western
perceptions—an Arabia of high-rise cityscapes and vast deserts, where
ancient traditions and rapid changes coexist in a region influenced by
oil, Islam, and global geopolitics. This historic floating symposium features
James A. Baker III, former secretary of state and co-chair of the
Iraq Study Group; Larry Diamond, senior fellow at Stanford University's
Hoover Institution; William Perry, former U.S. secretary of defense;
Dennis B. Ross, former special coordinator to the Middle East; and a host
of local guest speakers. Together they will provide perspective on the
modern history and politics of this critical region.
